370 A Creature Called Emperor! (1/2)

Old Marshal Qiu broke out in cold sweat. ”I really don’t know about this. Supreme Wind didn’t divulge the location of the child. He was worried about his safety. Actually, his worry…”

How could the emperor listen to any sort of explanation right now? He was like an infuriated lion that was growling in a frenzy, ”Absurd! Hilarious! What safety? What worry? Don’t know anything? This is treason! You should be exterminated alongside your family! Qiu Jianhan, hand the person over quickly or else not only will I penalize you, I shall execute a nine familial extermination too!”

”Do you think I wouldn't dare to do it?”

His Majesty had gone crazy, no longer making any sense.

Seeing the viciously babbling emperor, Qiu Jianhan felt exceptionally helpless. He felt numb inside as well.

I knew I would be scolded like this! His Majesty’s reaction is even worse than what I’ve imagined, much worse! I see the extent the impact of this matter has brought him.

I’m here to tell you that you have a grandson and your grandson is still alive, yet you want to charge me with treason and a nine familial extermination?

Why don’t you just ask if you should or not?

The old marshal was not only fuming mad, he felt incredibly maligned as well.

However, it was clear that the emperor was extremely upset by the information. He was hysterical!

God knew how much His Majesty had wished this news to be true.

He had always thought that it was all one-sided, that it was only a glimmer of hope keeping him alive; he had even long thought that it was already an impossibility.

His son had placed all of his attention on the Nine Supremes, how else would he have the chance to get married and build a family? If he had a choice, why would he have given up the honorable title of the eldest prince and the crown prince? One could not get the best of both worlds; he had to choose his sacrifice!

He would never expect his son, as Supreme Earth, would still have the chance to tie the knot with Supreme Water who was a woman, and had even given birth to a son!

The emperor’s hope that he no longer had faith in had really come true!

His eldest child’s son!

His Majesty felt his blood burning – soaring and boiling!

”My son!”

The emperor cried, both in happiness and grief.

His eldest son whom he felt very sorry for, whom he thought of each time he woke up in the middle of the night, and whom he was still weeping over, had left behind a bloodline after all! He had given him a chance for compensation!

The emperor’s emotions were utterly mixed.

”Your Majesty.” The old marshal was fairly worried and said placatingly, ”Please don’t be overly anxious. It can’t be rushed. Since Supreme Wind has opted to speak up about this, he won’t take his words back… He’ll show the child sooner or later. Why the impatience? It isn't really a suitable time.”

The emperor was still unusually fretful as he paced around, disregarding his image, like a lion that was trapped in a cage. ”How could I not have known this? I also can’t wait for a second longer. I want to see the child now!”

To His Majesty, this was really a torture that could hardly be endured. He knew of the news now but he could not see the real person. It felt like a small itch that could not be scratched.

”Old antique! You’re here today to intentionally torment me, are you not?” The emperor glared daggers at Qiu Jianhan. ”Not only do I see no one, I don’t even know where he is nor when he can be sent to meet me. Are you making me wait like this? Did you think I’ll be in a wonderful mood?”

Qiu Jianhan sighed inwardly. He knew that this fellow was just using him to vent his frustration.

”Your Majesty, even if you were the supreme of all and imperiously so, you have to be reasonable. I’ve also thought of whether I should tell you only when the child was here…”

The old marshal continued, ”However, this old official knows that Your Majesty has been looking forward in yearning for so long and there’s finally news now. It’s worse if I keep it from you for a period of time but now that you’re like this, not only did you render this old official’s effort futile, it’s bad for your health. I hope Your Majesty can keep calm and think further ahead with a collected mind.”

The emperor said in a rage, ”What a loyal, great official you are! It's your effort to tell me when you have news. Telling me like this, how can I withstand the following days of torment? Keep calm, think further ahead? You f*cking nonsense! How can I keep calm at such a time?”

The emperor had cursed aloud.

Dang!

Qiu Jianhan felt faint.

Whatever he did was wrong; not only was the man unreasonable, he had just sworn out loud!

It was wrong to give him a vaccination shot first, it was treason; hiding the information and bringing the child directly to him would all the more be treason as well – You’re taking me as a joke now since you’ve known it earlier, aren't you?

There would not even be the need for a groundless charge. This was an accusation that needed no explanation!

”If you really don’t want me to be vexed, bring the child to me quickly!”
